TheWoWDBBlood Guard Toldrek, who offers the Hostile Waters (the next quest in the chain) was not present near Sizzlegrin after I turned in this quest and Come Prepared. Logging out and logging in seemed to fix the issue - Toldrek spawned and I was able to pick up the next quest.

They are looted from the various Kvaldir mobs and on occasion they can be found as small bundles laying around by mobs as well.
Connor: [picking out weapons and gear] Do ya know what we need, man? Some rope.
Murphy: Absolutely. What are ya, insane?
Connor: No I ain't. Charlie Bronson's always got rope.
Murphy: What?
Connor: Yeah. He's got a lot of rope strapped around him in the movies, and they always end up using it.
Murphy: You've lost it, haven't ya?
Connor: No, I'm serious.
Murphy: Me too. That's stupid. Name one thing you gonna need a rope for.
Connor: You don't *!@#in' know what you're gonna need it for. They just always need it.
Murphy: What's this 'they' !@#$? This isn't a movie.
Connor: Oh, right.
[picks up large knife out of Murphy's bag]
Connor: Is that right, Rambo?
Murphy: All right. Get your stupid %^&*in' rope.
Connor: I'll get my stupid rope. I'll get it. This is a rope right here.

Description
Survival kits never have any rope. It makes no sense! Rope and bombs, that's all they should store. The rest of this stuff is just a waste of space. Except maybe the balloon. That's coming in handy right now. I bet those Kvaldir have rope. They're always riding around in boats, tying knots, dressing in nets. Go take some rope from them! I must have it for our plan to work. It is non-optional.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Come Prepared
It's a short swim to the top. Not much trouble really. Hard to get any supplies up there though. Too heavy. All of the ships in all of the Horde fleets stow a survival kit. I had a balloon from the old survival kit, but it fell on hard times recently. I need another survival kit.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Honor and Privilege
All done! I'm confident it will work. And not a scrounger in sight to pop a hole in it this time! Well played. Toldrek already swam up to catch it, all concerned about currents and what not. He said you'd get the honors though. Nice guy - don't know how he lasts.
